I know that I do, as recently as my grandparents. They came through Ellis Island in 1912 - in search of a better life, like everyone did.

A difference of five or ten thousand years, but who's counting?

America is a country like no other. We really are a nation of immigrants and that's the way it's always been. Who has the right to decide these things? A couple of generations ago, it was my great grandparents from Ireland who were considered undesirable. These days, it's those from specific other countries. Who will it be next??
